Two students from the Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES won first place at the SkillsUSA National Competition in Audio-Visual Production, a prestigious event that showcases the skills of students from across the country. The competition, which took place on June 6, 2026, featured students from various schools and programs, all vying for the top spot in their respective categories.
"We are thrilled to see our students excel in this competition, and we believe it is a testament to the quality of education they receive at Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES," said a spokesperson for the school. The students' win is a significant achievement, not only for the school but also for the Buffalo community, which can take pride in the talent and dedication of its local students.
The Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES has a long history of producing skilled and talented students, and this win is a continuation of that tradition. The students' success is also a reflection of the strong support system in place, which includes dedicated teachers, staff, and administrators who work tirelessly to help students achieve their goals. As the students return to Buffalo, they will be celebrated for their achievement, and their win will serve as an inspiration to other students in the area.
The Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES will likely hold a ceremony to honor the students' achievement, and the community will come together to congratulate them on their win. The students' next step will be to continue pursuing their passion for audio-visual production, and they will have the opportunity to apply the skills they have learned in future competitions and projects.
